Here you go Judman! Yellow tomatoes jalapeño garlic salsa It’s HOT, and no one else in the house eats it except me and my 3 year old girl. She loves super spicy food for some reason. It’s legit spicy!! Jalapeño, medium banana peppers, and Serrano peppers. Heavy garlic. If anyone wants recipe I’ll send or post it. With red tomatoes it’s very acidic tasting for some reason Not nearly as good as with yellow. My wife’s creation! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/V0L4dYvs/4-F3-F7346-DECD-48-DD-A2-E6-060596-C3-C6-D6.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zbk0zLJP/62-A74857-FE63-431-A-A394-754-CF0-BE2891.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zbNxYw1g/FF6-AEE8-C-E2-F9-4-F9-F-BB64-E9-B2-B3203784.jpg)

Your pickles. How long you water bath them?
How much pickle crisp?
I’m gonna try them. My grandmother in law makes pickles. I don’t care for them. Not sure why. Figured I’d make your recipe and see what I think. Love dill pickles!
Anyone pickle watermelon Rhine ( no clue how to spell that?)
Wife’s cousin used to but she passed away. No clue the recipe. It’s delicious!

Directions are on the back of the pickle crisp jar btw. Or use grape leaves, whatever would be easier

How many jars do you guys own and do you reuse? Of so average shelf life?

I’ll post the recipe when I get home with exact amounts for you kaleb
Greg, we have somewhere around 300 quarts jars and 160 ish pints I believe. My parents probably twice as many. Wife’s grandmother is actually giving us more this week as she has slowed down what she cans anymore as it’s just her in her household.
Yes the jars are reusable, as long as you take care of them and don’t chip or break them
Bands are reusable as well. Just don’t let them rust. I hear seals are reusable but we have never tried that
Shelf life I’m not sure Way longer than stuff lasts around our house though. Most things are years though. My mom says green beans stay for up to 5 years, not sure how she knows that though.

I've ate quarts of green beans that were seven or eight years old. No issues. Your digestive and immune systems may vary.

How many jars do you guys own and do you reuse? Of so average shelf life? Brother Greg, yes jars are reusable, rings for lids are, I don’t reuse the lids themselves. I’d say I could fill up the back of your tundra with jars, mostly garage sale finds or free from folks that retire or lose interest etc... shelf life, never had anything last over 5 years or so.

Good. I've got access to lots of jars, the prior use being filled with honey....grin....
Canning is something on my radar in the next few years.

Just remember that you need to follow established, and tested recipes for canning to ensure safety. Think botulism. Not really safe to create your own recipes, unless your just changing herbs/spices around
Just like the salsa recipe my wife and I just made. I have no way to test the PH to ensure it is below 4.2. So while I am confident it will be, and we will eat it most likely without issues, if anyone else makes it they should refrigerate them or freeze to ensure its safe to eat. We took the weights used from another recipe and modified a little on type of tomatoe and peppers.
If something calls for vinegar, lemon juice, citric acid. It is imperative you do this and follow the recipe by weight/volume to a T. Same with water canning or pressure canning. We may be a little more paranoid about it than most I guess.
Grab a ball canning book is a great place to start. We refer to it quite a bit and we have been canning for years Most AG extensions also have great information.

I've small batched canned before and my family growing up canned all the time. I'm just going to get ramped up for large scale personal use that I've never done before, or I'm thinking of it soon.

10-4.
So your pretty accustomed to the process.
I enjoy the process honestly. So I don’t find it a big time or energy drain. Grab a beer and pop beans, shuck corn, or pack jars.
We don’t have our own garden anymore which sucks. My work is too crazy for that with 3 small kids. I look forward to getting back to it though. Shouldn’t complain about cousin growing it all and giving it to us, but I will.
Maybe next year I’ll have a small garden for just some things her cousin doesn’t grow.

The Ball Book has a great dill pickle recipe in it - my favorite home-canned dill pickles in fact. Anyone who likes dill pickles should give it a shot sometime.
